Chapter 451: Chapter 182: All Challenges Over! Shocked Passers-by! Transcendent Comprehension!_2

One step, two steps.

Bracing against the gale, he strode firmly, treading on the soft, brilliant white snow.

The piercing cold wind howled past Zhang Beixing. Despite wearing a storm jacket, he could not fend off its relentless assault. The cold wind penetrated Zhang Beixing’s body, wantonly plundering his internal heat. After just a few minutes of walking in the snow, Zhang Beixing felt his body temperature drop significantly.

At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the cold wind completely stole all the heat from his clothes.

Zhang Beixing’s physical constitution was formidable. Even if all his body heat were plundered, leaving him exposed to the bitter cold, he could endure it for a long time. But this blizzard was still far from reaching its peak! And Zhang Beixing was far from reaching his own limits!

Therefore, to gain deeper insight from this blizzard, Zhang Beixing directly activated the Heaven and Earth Natural Technique.

"Hmph!"

As his body moved, scalding blood coursed rapidly through him, emitting an intense, fiery heat. White vapor billowed from him. For a moment, the heat generated within his body actually counteracted the heat being stripped away by the frigid wind. This allowed Zhang Beixing to withstand the biting wind, unyielding!

"Whoa!"

Inside the dormitory building, Liu Pan stood at the window, eyes wide with shock, his face a mask of disbelief. To rely on sheer physical strength to contend with such a ferocious blizzard, and to hold his own against it... Is this the only Great Grandmaster Great Xia has produced in seven hundred years?

"Truly terrifying!" Liu Pan exclaimed aloud to himself, still watching. "But what is he trying to do?" he muttered. "Why would he suddenly go outside to face the blizzard head-on? What... what’s the point of this?"

Liu Pan was thoroughly confused, unable to comprehend the artistic performance Zhang Beixing seemed to be putting on.

THUD, THUD, THUD—

A light knocking came from the door. Hearing the sound, Liu Pan opened the door and looked out. He saw Colonel Wang Fengyi of the Yanjing Military District and Su Dakai standing at the door.

Liu Pan paused for a moment upon seeing them. Then he quickly stepped aside to let the two men in.

After they entered, Wang Fengyi glanced through the window at Zhang Beixing, who was still walking away from the building. He took a sip of hot water and asked puzzledly, "Old Liu, what’s young brother Zhang up to? Why did he suddenly run outside? Is there some emergency?"

"I have no idea!" Liu Pan admitted, equally baffled. But then his brow furrowed. "No, wait. I remember when Martial Nephew Zhang went out, he seemed to mention something about going to take on a challenge."

"A challenge?" Su Dakai chimed in, a note of surprise in his voice. "Who could young brother Zhang have provoked this time? Seriously, who in their right mind would pick a day like this, with such heavy snow, for a challenge?"

"Exactly! That’s why it’s so strange!" Liu Pan said. He then voiced the thought that had been nagging him. "Besides, looking at Martial Nephew Zhang now, he doesn’t seem like he’s about to challenge a person. It looks more like he’s going to challenge... nature?"

It was no wonder he had such a thought. Ever since Zhang Beixing had gone outside, Liu Pan hadn’t seen him do anything other than practice his martial arts and walk. It clearly didn’t look like he was preparing for a pre-arranged fight with someone. Instead, it seemed as if the target of his challenge was right there in front of him! And what was in front of Zhang Beixing? Only the blizzard!

"Challenge nature? What do you mean by that, Old Liu?" Wang Fengyi interjected. "You’re not trying to say that kid Zhang Beixing wants to go head-to-head with the blizzard, are you?" He found the idea somewhat laughable even as he said it. Going head-to-head with a blizzard? It sounds utterly ridiculous!

Wang Fengyi was about to dismiss it as impossible. But before the words could leave his mouth, Su Dakai frowned and said, "That possibility can’t be ruled out."

"A while ago, I was chatting with Colonel Huo Honghao from the Shishi Military Region, and we briefly discussed what Zhang Beixing has been up to recently."

"At the time, Colonel Huo Honghao mentioned that Zhang Beixing had been acting very strangely lately."

"He didn’t specify exactly how he was being strange, and I didn’t press him on it. Could this be what he meant?" Su Dakai mused.

Liu Pan thought that made sense. "Why don’t we call and ask him?" he suggested.

"Good idea!" Su Dakai agreed and immediately dialed Huo Honghao’s number. The call connected quickly.

Huo Honghao’s face appeared on the screen. He looked at Su Dakai and said, "Colonel Su, what’s going on? Is something wrong for you to call me at this hour?"

Su Dakai then explained what Zhang Beixing was currently doing.

Upon learning that young Zhang Beixing was out walking in the blizzard, Huo Honghao immediately understood what he was trying to do. The corner of his mouth twitched. "If I’m not mistaken," he said, "Zhang Beixing is likely challenging his Heaven-Stealing Secret version of Oizaki’s Eight Challenges."

"Heaven-Stealing Secret version of Oizaki’s Eight Challenges?" Liu Pan and Wang Fengyi echoed, their brows furrowing. What in the world is that? Why have we never heard of it before?

Only Su Dakai looked astonished. "Young brother Zhang is actually challenging Oizaki’s Eight Challenges? Isn’t that incredibly dangerous? Colonel Huo, did young brother Zhang attempt something like this when he was with you before?"
